On June 23, the Chicago Dyke March, and a woman-focused alternative to the main Pride celebrations in the city,is set to happen. Lesbians, bisexual women, and other women who love women would expect such an event to be a comforting secure space for them; however,final year proved in a very positive way that it is not a secure space for Jewish women.
As a black Jewish trans woman, I am often asked to participate and note up for events for marginalized women, and I was asked by an acquaintance to attend this one. But my aversion to the Chicago Dyke March should be quite understandable.
